ECPI

Re: ECPI
This is a SCAM report:
Do not go to ECPI or MCI, unless you want your credits to NEVER transfer. Shit, they don't even transfer from place to place, if you went to ECPI and then wanted to transfer something simple like a computer class, you couldn't do it, to MCI (same company). They charge RIDICULOUS amounts, scam you, hide a lot of shit, and I personally experienced this with MCI.
Not saying SOME do not see good things from this place, but DO YoUR RESEARCH. THEY ARE INDEED ACCREDITED, and WILL TELL YOU THAT, but ask another college if they accept, and they will all say no!

Re: ECPI
this thread is old as balls... i know.. dont get mad lol. but why start a new one
i found it on the web site
http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=21477
heres my story from this week
i decided to check out ecpi, trade school to see what i could accomplish there
i got there, and everyone was very nice, etc. had lots of stuff to talk about, my "rep" or guidance counsler schedule lady thing's name was erin, tall skinny decent looking woman late 20's short hair
its starts off with this fucking "compass test" you gotta take this test and pass
1. math
2.english
3...... web?
web is the last part... you have 8 minutes.. to answer 25 pattern questions like
1 3 5 7 9 ?
a.1
b.5
c.11
answer is c
regardless, they get so twisted up and difficult.. never enough time
then, part 2... gets more ridiculous
like i cant even explain, more pattern bullshit timed also
i feel like, its a fake test, to make you feel accomplished, a sales tactic.. because. EVERY SINGLE PERSON THERE, was there to retake that same web portion like i did
i didnt even pass... your supposed to use your SSN for it.. my 3rd time there. they said to make up a last number, aka change my ssn so i can take it more then twice.. wtf? thats janky...
not to mention, my 3rd time i didnt pass it. and she was like. oh well, we can probally just get it passed since your close.... wtf
i feel like, the younger perky, aderol filled chicks working there are just bullshitting you
what school has there own test to let you in? minus SAT's...
i have to pay 100 dollars.. to figure out financial aid
none of my questions, got answered about were these certifications come from
the lady, would blame, alot of the problems she was having on other people
but why cant i talk to these other people?
i dont want to talk to this rep. i want to talk to someone that knows this school
priced out with a bs degree it was like 52k, for that price, not to mention me throwing in 100 bux just to see how much help i can get. is not worth it
for my bacholers degree, for web security... theres UNIX, and LINUX... 4 classes
so, id end up spending 13 thousand fucking dollars, to learn how to use a free operating system. that no one in the real bussiness world uses... ive down network jobs at aol in ashburn etc. hooking up computers, and unix and linux is used, but isnt my main priority.. not worth 13k.. i didnt see enough microsoft on there
im not a really smart person, but somethings up with this place thats janky and i smell rotten fish.
has anyone ever used this place?
im going to stick to my 500 dollar nova classes for now
